What inspired me to choose journalism as my career?

“Journalism” was something I never knew about before. My dad introduced me to this field as a child I sat every day with him watching the news following a decision on issue that sprang up in news.


I never took so much interest in the news but, when it came to some crime stories, corruption that was the type of news draws my attention towards news. It seemed like a lot bad things were happening around in society but there was nobody to take a stand.


As a typical goan girl I saw my village facing many problems like water problems, electricity, lack of security measure etc. nobody was there to help them out. These issues made me more drawn to choose a career where I first took a lead and highlighted an issue on the newspaper. It was something exciting for me to question the authority and after hard work get your thing done along with support and love of your community people.

 

I used to love writing a lot. Writing is my passion. And journalism was such a career that seemed full filling   my passion .I believed that “Words are powerful. When properly used, uttered or written words can bring about unity, but used wrongly it can also cause chaos and division and incite rebellion.”


 And then I decided to move forward and take up journalism as my career. I m just doing my first year in journalism and started liking it even more because “it’s a is an unique field, which gives me knowledge, experience and responsibility to share everything I observed through the lens of journalist, one of my goals is would be to make my community a better place.”


Today our country is in need of youth who could take stand to fight against the evil things happening , as so our country needs better journalist so think twice what you choose what will be its outcome. And it would be probably nice to see our country having famous person ale who worked hard to make the country free from all evil and wrong things going
